Link2SD gets me "limping" instead of "linking" .Ext2 partition lost . Pl help !!!

Specs of my phone

MTK6575

Cortex A9 CPU

Company : Generic Chinese. Manufacturer - ?

Pl see attached CPUZ screenshots

Running 2.3.6 Version Android

I installed Link2SD after partitioning card with EXT2. L2SD Picked up the ext2 partition very well and the auto linking feature worked till alas , I tragedy struck - I had ONLY 256mb memory on the phone so I tried to move some phone apps to ext2 by linking, by 1st converting em to user apps( using convert to user app feature.) from system apps and then link them using L2SD

After than Google Play kept giving error message process "com.vending.android" stopped unexpectedly . Alright - so I tried to flip some of the apps from ext2 back to phone. But after that NOTHING worked . Google play continued with error and browser app ( internal system app ) kept giving error process "com.browser...something" stopped working.

Then I noticed L2SD complained that the ext2 partition cannot be seen

Same prob when I mount Card in Linux - EXT2 ( 480 mb) has DISAPPEARED.

NOW link2SD has got me limping instead of linking.....

pl help !!!!!!

I've noticed that when I call people, my mic sounds fine but when I join a hangout, my voice sounds terrible. I know it's not hardware based since phone calls sound fine and it's not Internet based because when I connect to the same hangout on my nexus 7,it sounds better. Is anyone experiencing this on hangouts?

[Sony Xperia L] nithin jain:
no havent tried it....does a reset really make a diff ?....didnt perform a reset coz don wanna install all apps again...will have to root again and reinstall all apps agian....and am afraid if the reset doesnt happen as expected...i mean many ppl have faced various problems n i havent faced those(camera prob,call dropping,net issues)...am afraid if after reset i start facing those problems reset bwont be worth it..any other soln other than reset?
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Its highly recommended to do the factory reset after upgrade to not face any issue like yours or many others people. Don't worry, all apps you have installed will be downloaded by them selfs. Also rooting is just few seconds soo. I don't think there is other solution.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Hey guys!

I'm on CM 10.2 at the moment and was considering comparing the latest TW firmware. My biggest issue with TW in the past has been the inability to have multiple lockscreen widgets (and primarily a camera shortcut) while using a pattern lock.

Just wanted to know if that had changed with the release of 4.3 or if it's still the same?

Did a quick search but couldn't find anything conclusive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajumper:
If you're device is rooted! The just instal exposed framework! And download the module! Here it is works perfect!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Cheers mate. :)

I take it it's not officially supported in this update either then?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
No it's not officially supported. I am not rooted but have got the functionality through the excellent widgetlocker.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Even with widget locker you can't access the camera without having to unlock the pattern lock though can you? Won't it just pop up the lock after selecting the camera shortcut in WL?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
You can access the camera without unlocking. Just swipe right.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
as far as i know its all the same, i use widgetlocker but in the short while i used stock it seemed the same as in 4.2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
It really does work! Sweet! :D

Thanks guys!

When I first tried it I made a shortcut to the camera app. That doesn't work, you have to either swipe to the side or use the built in widget locker functions for a camera shortcut.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelticdave:
I'm not new to flashing kernals and custom roms I have been actively tweaking my HTC sensation with sultan kernel.

I'm looking through the list of kernels and I'm coming up against a hurdle most of them just don't work for my nexus 7 (wifi only)

I'm flashing the device with cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly from their site with gapps everything runs fine but when I flash the kernels listed here

the only one I seem to find works is Oxyvo V13

Not even Franco.kernal works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel

The error I get with all of them is that android.phone has stopped working or something along those lines.

I hope you can suggest one that can work with CM.10.2.NIGHTLY
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moiassar78:
Hello everybody , to all mates who bricked their phones by upgrading or using custom roms

I had soft brick my phone 3 times before and i read all soft brick methods here in our lovely forum, if u can my steps you will recover your phone 100%.

Note: remove your sd card and put it in PC and upload a custom rom in it, then bring it back to phone.

Lets go :cowboy:

1-]first of all these for unlocked boot loader.

2- after your phone die, connect to wall charger, at first will be no response (no red led) its OK don't be afraid.

3- charge it till red led on (it may takes many hours first time it need from me 22 hours, but usually need 10-15 hours).

4- now boot loops will start :D , its OK you are almost done believe me, prepare flash-tool in PC but do not select any thing.

5- while phone boot loop connect phone to your PC and do soft reset, ie hold power bottom and up volume bottom your phone will vibrate once now let power bottom and keep pushing up volume bottom (the phone is connected to PC as we said), blue led will appear which mean you are in fast-boot mode.

6- in flash tool select fast boot mode, a dialogue will appear select now (Select kernel To Flash), a window will appear choose from it JB_211_Kernel_twrp2.5.elf kernel or any CWM support kernel and flash it.

7- you will see the dialogue of flashing which till you that flashing is OK..

8 - now select reboot system from flash tool, your phone will restart.

9- enter recovery and select wipe all (advanced) system, data, cash and davlik cash, only leave internal memory and sd card

10- now select back and choose install and select any custom rom you have put in sd card and install it, after that select reboot system and you will go :laugh: its working believe me the phone will boot.

11- if you want to flash it with stock rom, after you boot recovery select power option and select power off (do not choose reboot) your phone will turn off, now prepare flash tool in PC and select your stock rom, wait till a pop up message appear to connect phone, connect your phone in flash mode ( volume down key and connect phone to PC) and flash stock rom .

Guys it really works do not ever give up try and try and you will recover your phone.

Please guys any one try this tell me the result I will help as I can.

i heard people saying not to flash to the latest as it gives you a bootloader that samsung can track and removed warantee ect....

is there any latest roms with old bootloader ????

Here I am, installing 4.1 for a third time....

Why is it so hard to make a stable connection utility? All I get now, no matter what I do re: firewall/connecting while off/rebooting/rerunning AS is "USB Device Not Recognized".

God I hates it.

I take it there is NO alternative to syncing my Outlook 2003 etc?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] must_dash:
Yep, it's about as tempremental as a 3 year child.

I find best solution after that error is.

1 disconnect pc and universal

2 reboot both and let them finish starting

3 press power switch on universal to put it to stand by.

4 connect them

5 when universal awakes go to activesync and select sync.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Have you checked your firewall thoroughly?

This drove me crazy until I realized the firewall was blocking connection to the device.

Remember that with stoopid new activesync, which also conveniently removes wifi syncing, you are making a tcp connection to the device that requires a clear path through your firewall.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Has been my experience with 4.3 AOSP roms. Wasn't that way on 4.2.2. I know location services where wifi and mobile networks is checked increases drain. Another thing you can is download KT Kernel and go to luigibull23 posts. He's has some pre-configured settings that I've used it is in the op for the kernel thread. . I've been able to get DU to sleep like TouchWiz, with KT Kernel. But it involved tinkering til I got it just so. And greenify.

Using Enigma v6.1 and v6.2 with nemesis kernel v6.3

phone hangs and reboots sometimes.

used cooltool to monitor RAM and found out that it showed free RAM only 60MB.. that's when the hang/freeze occurs, checking free RAM in running apps menu showed 200-300MB Available RAM.

one solution was to limit to background processes to 4.(it worked but then most of the apps wont auto sync properly like whatsapp n fb)

Today i removed zram from initd and it works normally. no freezing or reboots so far.

looking any other possible solutions.

I don't care for brand.. as long as its known one like Samsung/Sandisk.. and not some chinese 1 day old company...

I don't block the price as for I don't really know how much it really costs..
